Genesis 26:26-31 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

26. Abimelech came from Gerar to see Isaac. Abimelech brought with him Ahuzzath, who advised him, and Phicol, the commander of his army.

27. Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to see me? You were my enemy. You forced me to leave your country.”

28. They answered, “Now we know that the Lord is with you. We will make a promise to you. And we would like you to make one to us. We would like to make an agreement with you.

29. We did not hurt you. So promise you will not hurt us. And we were good to you, and we sent you away in peace. Now the Lord has blessed you.”

30. So Isaac prepared food for them, and they all ate and drank.

31. Early the next morning the men made a promise to each other. Then Isaac sent them away, and they left in peace.
